Interventional treatment for pulmonary embolism is mainly used for large pulmonary embolisms in the main trunk or major branches of the pulmonary artery. It is applicable in the following scenarios: contraindications to thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy, inefficacy after thrombolysis or aggressive medical treatment, or lack of surgical conditions. Interventional therapy for pulmonary embolism can involve removing the embolus or breaking it into fragments, allowing it to move to the distal pulmonary arteries, thereby opening the central pulmonary arteries, rapidly reducing pulmonary artery resistance, significantly increasing total pulmonary blood flow, improving cardiopulmonary hemodynamics, and right ventricular function. The treatment involves catheter fragmentation and suction of large clots in the pulmonary artery or performing balloon angioplasty, and it also enables local administration of small-dose thrombolysis. These are the primary methods of interventional treatment for pulmonary embolism.
